PMQ's: Corbyn goes on McDonalds strike which May widens into general argument so she can speak about zero contracts and government action, Corbyn goes on shareholder votes being binding then dumped and pushes hard on this, May goes onto general corporate issues. Corbyn goes into energy price cap and suggests she try sticking to her manifesto, May points out error in Corbyn's question and goes into her plans for energy prices, Corbyn on sports direct failing to act on zero hour contracts and calls on May to condemn them, May says Corbyn has gone back on labour's commitment to Trident rather then address issue. Corbyn points out it had nothing to do with what he asked, goes on public sector paycap leading to NHS staff shortages, May does generic "we appreciate the staff" and accuses Corbyn of always wanting more money, Corbyn on suffering of NHS staff who need more then warm words. Neither side well in terms of delivery, Corbyn was scattergun and failed to really tie it into a narrative but can claim the victory, May tended to answer a different question or gave generic answer and lacked thrust. Bring back Thornberry (for both sides)! Ian Blackford goes on benefits of immigration and nasty treatment by Home Office, demands May stop treating migrants badly to appease backbenchers, nice questions but without quite having punch, May says they apologized but Blackford is failing to see what happens to low paid during high immigration.
